Elitest jerks warlock pvp

I've been leveling up and I'm really fucking pissed with the warriors getting me in open world pvp. How am I supposed to counter a warrior as a affli wlock? Any pointers would be appreciated

Whilst everyone is sort of doom and gloom or complacent about the loss of MC or lack of content, I still think the game is fun to play. I don't have much higher expectations and like it as a partial pvp roguelike game and tend to care more about new content like maps, enemies, items and classes rather than the slow slog of quests or ladder climbing. In that spirit, here's some theory crafting about a Vampire class if one were to ever enter the DaD universe. And before you say it, warlocks are not vampires.
Add any additional skills/perks in the comments and I'll update the posts and edits with ones I like. I feel this is one possible avenue in a direction for future content, and I could imagine a series of dungeon maps to go along with it. Thanks for reading, Cheers

Look I get it, there's a million clans out there and they all say the same thing. we're no better except for the fact that I used that sentence to grab your attention, and hopefully you believe me because our Discord is level 3 🤯
we're a small 18+ clan of ~45 members trying to achieve the Destiny dream: a consistent group to run with, and a refuge from LFG, that accepts your quirks and helps you run endgame content without the anxiety inducing thought of "they're going to get annoyed if I mess up". We don't care if you can only play on weekends. we don't care if you only speak in haiku. we don't care if you need to keep your baby on your lap while playing, or need to to put them back to bed because they sensed you were having fun.
Requirements:

• be comfortable using a mic when the occasion calls for it
  • if you're grinding xenology or normal onslaught, who cares. but if comms are needed for mechanics we'll ask for it.
• those looking to genuinely grow and improve in the game.
• people who will talk to us on discord chat, and get to know each other. we're the type to have 10 people in the same VC just to vibe
  • We'll never boot someone for inactivity, only anonymity.
• be comfortable requesting things you need from the the clan or the game. most of us completed all our destiny goals both pvp and pve, so waiting for someone to run an activity you need is a poor strategy.
• people willing to join the clan in-game, because our members are actually proud of our identity

Oh and don't be a jerk. There's no tolerance for hate/toxicity/rudeness of any kind and we are LGBTQ friendly as well.
If you're cool with that, we can do it all here- whether you want to chat about lore, share your fashion, chase some titles, or just mindlessly shoot some dregs.
In order to maintain the community as is we cap our members at around 60 because we want to be a clan, not a staffing agency. We're active every day, mostly from 12 PM EST to about 12 AM EST on average.
Feel free to dm me with any questions!

Hi all,
I'm planning a oneshot for my group that's mostly from a pre-written adventure. The problem is that the end of the adventure involves the party pvp-ing with one another and that's not really something I or my players want to do. So instead, I'm building them another adventuring party to fight as the final encounter.
My players are all level 15 and I was planning on the other party being level 15 as well. I've never run anything like this before, so I was wondering how I might go about building this other party to give my players a challenge but ultimately have them win. Should I just reduce the other party's hp?
If it's relevant, here's what classes my players are planning on playing -Warlock with a homebrewed subclass to give her bard stuff -cleric/blood hunter (lycan) -blood hunter (lycan) -monk (astral self) -probably some kind of rogue or fighter
And my party comp right now -paladin (crown) -sorcerer (aberrant mind) with 1 level in paladin -cleric (grave) -fighter (psi warrior) -bard (elloquence)
Also worth it to mention that all of these characters are past PCs from various games we've played together.

Im torn between Arms warrior, Feral druid or warlock for 3s.
I love the proc based stuff of feral and arms, but warlocks chaos bolts and meta form looks sick, even if meta isnt used widely for pvp.
Which spec is the best to get gear and do 3s on? any comp requirements? Im aware double healer exists which is why I dont want to gimp myself with a class my buddies cant play with

Oh boy this was insane. First for some context. I play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends one or two days a week depending on our schedules. We recently started up a campaign that our forever DM had wanted to run for years now. It was set in an apocalyptic war in a medieval world with some steampunkish themes too (ie lots of warforges, artificers, and automotons).
There were a handful of cities that were more technologically and magically advanced but in these cases, mage lords attempted to monopolize magic and technology. This led to the war that kicked off our campaign. I was playing as a human fighter from a mercenary army, and the two relevant players were playing as a halfling bard and a shadar kai warlock respectively. They were from the get go in game rivals despite being friends irl.
We ended up playing a fairly normal campaign for a couple months. There were a few incidents of warlock and bard arguing over loot and who deserves more or who contributed more. We ended up reaching a port town that was sort of like the Waterdeep of this world but more steampunky. That week was when “Not Like Us” dropped.
When we got to the port town, we ended up going to meet with a mage lord. This took about two weeks. Two weeks of warlock and bard arguing about Drake and Kendrick (warlock liked Drake and bard liked Kendrick). When the mage lord demanded halfling bard play a song, upon which he immediately starts playing “Not Like Us” irl to be his bard’s song. We all laughed and went along but Shadar Kai warlock said “Turn that shit off!” Halfling bard said “What I am just speaking facts in song form to this mage lord. He likes it.” Which he did since bard rolled a 17 on his performance check.
Shadar Kai warlock said “You know damn well what you’re doing. Stop turning Dnd into your Drake slander porn!” Bard said “Ok fine, Shadar Kai is salty that my song made his certified pedophile patron cry so I gotta stop but I am glad you liked it Ser (mage lord’s name)”
Warlock then said “That’s it, I cast fireball to kill both the mage lord and that fucking smug ass bard!” I then try to talk him out of it but its no use and the DM allowed this to play out. This was a relatively weak mage lord so he died quickly as bard and warlock eagerly went at it. The rest of the party was content to sit back and watch. I tried to intervene but failed my rolls to subdue two active combatants non-lethally as a fighter. I nearly died myself.
Shadar kai warlock ended up winning the battle and knocked bard out. I once again tried to convince warlock to chill out. I said “You’ve proven your point now let's get bard to safety so he can heal”. Warlock then said “Well at least let me teabag him to make it clear who reigns supreme”
Bard’s player then said “Damn. Imagine being so butthurt about Drake losing you have to pull this shit. Fucking loser!”
Warlock then said “Fuck this! I cast eldritch blast! He dies right here, right now!” There was nothing I could do to stop him (I was too far away at this point) and the DM had no intention of stopping this either. Warlock killed bard and looted him. Bard then got pissed off and then they started arguing like crazy with each player launching smears about the other artist from pedo to wife beater to racist and more until they drifted the argument into who is better at Dnd and bard insisting that he only lost cause he got “caught off guard” and the party was “too pussy” to step in. We ended up calling the session.
Next session, bard’s player made a new min maxxed character (barbarian/paladin multiclass) that he bragged could annihilate warlock’s and they started arguing again. FINALLY the DM stepped in and told them that their characters are only allowed to fight from now on over organic in game conflicts and that anything—including discussions of, music from or knockoff characters based on Drake or Kendrick are hereby banned.
The session went off sort of ok, we were a bit lost now that the mage lord was dead and we would now have to find another one to align with. Plus the atmosphere was tense. Both barb/paladin and warlock were giving each other the silent treatment all session.
And that’s where we are now. I am hoping they chill out by next session because this is no fun for anyone.
tldr Warlock and bard PVP over their obsession with an out of game dispute between two hip hop artists that gets so out of hand that a character dies.

i'm aware the probabalibility of stat changes are low (but never 0). time for the rant!
the class ability stats as is are unfair and make less sense than other choises let me explain
warlocks recover faster and spam rifts more titans throw grenades and throw more barrackades hunters jump higher (only useful in the tower) have a little more strafe (pvp exclusive) and dodges which are actually always useful
it should be strength as the vast majority of builds use the hunters melee examples: solar any omnioculus or shadow dive builds for void i dont think thers a single build on stasis that doesnt use it or couldn't use it if they don't have grim harvest arc is criminally short so its exempt strand is mostly used for tangles
now then what do we do with these useless stats, make them class specific
hunter: mobility warlock: intelligence titan: flinch resist? convert the unfair lunge? aoe for ignition and similar?, critical dmg resist? titan is my least used class so idk
how to implement these class specific stats? heres a few options
a stat unique to class items as theres no reason to farm them especially once you get artifice armor. exotics excluded though it could add another layer to the farm
a ghost mod as once you max out the season pass you have no reason for xp boost and while glimmer boost will be more useful in FS it will make us choose between money and a buff which would be nice
or just merge mob into str since for whatever reason the community despises it and merge int into oblivion

I am a returning player to destiny , last played just before witch queen. I play warlock as i have since destiny 1 and have a solid group of 2 others to run content. However, i am getting bored of using well 24/7 for everything and wanted to see if anybody had a take on what else could be viable for pve content such as dungeons and raids (once we recruit more guardians to the clan). I really enjoy strand but can’t seem to see a positive effect using it when i follow builds online and just swap to well anyway. I do use well for PvP as it doesn’t bother me that much and is fun to use to hold points down.

Hopefully the title makes sense. What are some multiplayer games where there isn't the traditional Tank/HealeDPS roles in group content, but a player can still optionally build to become a healer. An example might be something like solar Warlocks in Destiny 2 or medics builds in Payday. Not PvP games either please.

Have you ever realized how in the first cinematic it's purely PvP(aside from the human mage fighting the warlock's infernal), you don't even get to see any PvE action going on.
The pvp fights from classic cinematic:
UD Warlock vs Human Mage , Dwarf Hunter vs Tauren Warrior , Orc Warrior vs Nelf Druid
We didn't get to see a gnome and we didn't get to see a troll, but they'd be fighting each other ofc
Whatever was a Tauren Warrior doing in dun morough anyway?
TBC cinematic is a lot of the same, pvp fights with a lil Illidan for flair
PvE can be entertaining, sure, but pvp was the biggest drawpoint of WoW for me and many other players and I'd love for just once, a season based around purely PvP. Leveling? bgs, open world pvp events, and arenas, raids? One player is made into a raid boss and has the powers and abilities of a raid boss or something, I dunno, but experiment again, and give us pure PvP all the time, put in some anti griefing measures, which shouldn't be a problem as pvp will even put all problems imo
Just brainstorming, I know it won't happen and PvP has and will always take the backseat to PvE, but something maybe one day a remix of or its own LTE somehow

So I’ve been playing Destiny since before Cayde died. But I’ve never been great at PVP. I used to have a bit of success with riskrunner, but that seems to be pretty weak for playing now. My main is a warlock and I often run voidwalker. I’m struggling with my perks, at the moment I’m only pretty low power 1670 because I had a hiatus for a couple of years.
I don’t want to be a liability to my team in Crucible. I don’t tend to do raids so I don’t have any raid specific exotics.
My main load out is a rocket launcher, automatic rifle and shotgun or grenade launcher. I won’t always pick up heavy ammo because I often figure someone else can use it better than me.
Recently I’ve been running Tommy’s matchbook, but I haven’t got the catalyst for it, so I still get burnt by the gun.
I don’t play competitive because then I really would be a liability to my team.

I have been trying to show my Warlock some love in recent weeks and am curious as to what the general consensus is for the glide.

Hi, i just wanted to rant about a problem player I had in my party. This person who i'll call R, has been quite a problem player in my game. I've posted about him before on D&D as he was adamant about pvp but ended up "agreeing" with my terms regarding it. I'm a new DM and this was my first time actually DMing and I put a lot of effort into setting it up, the party consisted of a kemonomimi dog bard, cat warlock, and a tiefling warlock (yes i know very balanced), an oathbreaker paladin (R's character edgy backstory and all) and a fairy artificer, (R's bff who just went along with anything he said). All of these players except the kemonomimi dog bard were new to d&d with the bard having dm'd before, (honestly such a great player and person and gave me great tips after the oneshot.)
Now, the problem started as soon as we started the session. I was running one of the modules from Candlekeep mysteries on Roll20 since it was more accesible to us all. R couldnt be on voice chat for some reason and his bsf as well, although he was able to before. As I was explaining to the party and introducing them to the setting and roleplaying the NPCs, he kept commenting how bad I was at roleplaying and kept spamming skip dialogue in the voice chat and moving his token wherever. He also kept drawing dicks on the map and made a "sillies corner" for him and his best friend the fairy artificer.
Afterwards a bit further into the campaign he still made the same comments and also kept moving his token around in some restricted areas as well, I probably should have put it in the fog of war but I forgot to so that was honestly my fault. However after that as soon as the party were getting deeper into the story, he just leaves. Out of nowhere. No text, no nothing. Afterwards his best friend left as well. I tried to involve him and them into the story and get him to interact more but he just didnt. I would just be met with insults and shut up. Until he just left.. its not like he lost internet connection, he was still online. He didnt want to interact with other players other than be hostile to them except his best friend, and he just kept insulting me as a DM.
Luckily this didnt deter me and my party and we just continued as normal. My tiefling warlock got pretty upset though because they thought it was rude and R had been getting on their nerves for quite some time. We ended up having a blast aside from the long arduous combat when they accidentally aggro'd the entire map, however it ended well and we ended up with an epic showdown against the BBEG's. Afterwards my players told me they enjoyed the session and the kemonomimi bard complimented my dming style especially for a new dm which was really nice coming from them and gave me some really great tips as well.
The bard also commented that, that type of player R was, was very problematic, and said that it would be an immediate kick from them at their table. Afterwards I was honestly pretty upset, especially as he had the nerves to talk to me afterwards out of game like it was all good. I ended up talking to my partner and friends about it which includes the tiefling bard and they tell me I should talk about it to him but I dont wanna confront him while I'm still pissed. I honestly have half a mind to kick him from the group, but my partner says to talk to him first about it to not escalate things any further, and because R had been going through some shit recently which might have affected his behavior (recently moved out, broke up with his gf, etc.) Which I agree with.
Thats all, I also just found it funny how in the previous post I made about R, that it would end up on rpghorrorstories and it did. Not so much a horror story though and I admit I was not the best at roleplaying, but it was also my first time and he knew that and as a friend irl, the least he could do was be nice. I'll talk to him about this when I've calmed down as this has been an issue in other areas as well and I dont appreciate him just disrespecting me even if it was a joke. I still wanna DM, but I dont think I wanna DM for R anymore though.
TLDR: R insulted my dming skills during the oneshot, was hostile to other players aside from his best friend and left midway through the oneshot without any explanation. The strangers on reddit were correct.

I need your strongest pve endgame (raid/Grandmasters) and pvp also please help with my drip I came from warlock and hunter so I need desperate help in the drip department.

I am struggling to decide and lock a class for Cata for my main. Right now the choices are mostly between Shaman, Warlock, hunter or DK. Currently have all four classes at 5k gs now mostly from prepatch pvp gear and been doing a fair bit of gammas on them. In cata, I am going to PvE 90% of the time, but will def dabble into some pvp for fun (prolly rbgs). I'll briefly lay down some points of interest for me for each:

• Shaman I would play mostly Ele, it's just stupidly fun and satisfying to see big crits, but the rotation can get a bit stale sometimes since it is so easy. I am also worried about open world quests/elite soloing and survivability (also pvp)
  
• demo warlock is pretty much an s tier spec in cata, very good at pve, flavourful and engaging rotation and immersion into lore/rp of the class, great utility (ppl will literally fight each other for your link haste buff), severely underplayed (its a nice bonus since it.means its easier to.find spots), can solo most elite quests, can go affli for serious pvping. Just worried a bit about the raid fights which mostly involve movement, whereas demo just like to stand still and cast
  
• DK - not a huge fan of unholy, dont really like snapshotting gargoyle and waiting for all procs/buffs to align perfectly to parse well, its a very hit or.miss playstyle for me. I'd rather lean into frost dual wielding, either masterfrost or obliterate build, its fun and good dps right now. Also added bonus blood is the best tank, can solo dungeons elite quests etc very easily and even occasionally tank some heroics when dps queue times get too long. Also melee life is fairly fun, I am just worried there will be too many dks around and hard to find raid spots, especially when not playing unholy
  
• hunter: survival has fun rotation, insane dps, been liking it so far for the past few weeks, wouldve loved a bit more melee elements added to it, but its cool. Obviously.good at questing/farming/soloing elites etc, my main concern is being locked into a single role/playstyle and MM not being viable outside arenas in cata and BM is kinda meh
  

What would be your choice of these 4 and why? Thanks for reading!

So why would they cripple it to the point of being useless. The removed it's perks for PVP and reduced it's damage boost time from 5 seconds to just 2. Penumbral blast doesn't shatter anymore either. This was the warlocks counter to titans, so what can we do instead now or is there a workaround?

The Vitcraft is a newly launch server (May 10th, 2024), and we're looking for new players to start their own town or join an existing one! Server made for Java players but we can also allow bedrock players.
Everyone is welcome as we build an active player base that also host a ton of other events, tournaments, and casual fun in AND outside of Minecraft. You can be a dedicated 24/7 player or someone who just join on the weekend. All is welcome!
We organized our server and discord community to make sure you get the most out of what you want, but strategically coordinating roles and channels to allow you to best connect with your friends & peers, regardless of race, gender, location, religion, and sexual orientation.
VitalCraft is a towny/economy server working to give you the best Vanilla+ experience ever! We aligned our plugins and data pack to give you something fresh and new without completely changing the game or its mechanics. You may also choose if you want to play it peacefully and work together or fight and conquer as we have a system in place to allow you to disable/enable PvP.
We're looking for players who are 20 years old or older! (we make a few exceptions for 19 year olds). We are mostly North America but we also have players from across the world. We have an active Gaming Community Discord, and we regularly use voice chat (though it's not a requirement at all).
This is a Vanilla+ server, with some fun plugins & datapacks. But the main focus lies on community, building & just having fun.
Here are our rules:

• You have to be at least 20 years old.
• No PvP without Consent or War
• No griefing or stealing
• No hacking, exploiting glitches, xraying, or any other glitch
• No racism, no homophobia, no hate of any kind
• No bullies allowed
• All in all: don't be a jerk!

The server is hosted in the USA and it is not pay-to-play.
Some of the major plugins:

• Towny
• Dynamic
• Mythic Mobs
• Graves
• EzChestShop / Crazy-Auctions
• Proximity Chat
• Sleeper
• BountySeekers
• PostOffice
• Jobs Reborn

Some of the major plugins:

• Datapack to change the terrain slightly (more earth feel)

If you're interested: please give this post an upvote and leave a comment down below! I will DM you link and information of the server shortly

Hey guys!
After finally breaking past level 1,000, I figured it would be worthwhile to assemble a helpful info post for new and returning players, and see about what other tips you all might have to contribute as well!
These won't be in any particular order, but should be considered all the same.

• If you want to level up faster, consider joining public teams, sleeping in beds, and hunting down food and chems that boost your intelligence. There's even a furniture item that boosts your intelligence by +2 when activated!
• Your problem is probably not that your weapons suck, but rather, you haven't selected the most optimal perks and buffs to support your playstyle. 99% of your struggle will be your build, not your gear.
• There is no authentically "best weapon" or "best build", but there is a "best weapon for a playstyle" and "best build for your specific needs". Asking for specifics will get you much more accurate info and lead to happier outcomes.
• You don't actually need godrolls to be good, especially early on. Focus on getting your build off the ground with a set of 1 stars and save up for your dream set later. You'll be happier in the long run!
• "Lone Wolf" vs "Antisocial Team Member", there's a ton of positive incentive in joining public teams, even if you don't interact with the folks on your team. Experience boosting per person on the team, possible attribute buffs based on team type, and even perk sharing are all incentive. Playing 100% alone will make you miss out on these amazing bonuses!
• Food Buffs... Don't sleep on your food buffs. There's a huge wealth of even basic bonuses that will take your character from "crud" to "chad". A great example is blight soup and deathclaw steak respectively. Both of these are super basic and surprisingly easy to get, and have massive damage bonuses associated with them for their respective playstyles.
• Struggling with Earle Williams because he's a big bully? Endangerol Syringers are the way. Seriously, if everyone brings an Endangerol Syringer and unloads their bullets and spikes, he drops like a sack of potatoes. Don't sleep on the syringers!
• That random high level player shooting at your feet? They're realistically not trying to harass you, they're trying to get your attention because they want to give you stuff to make your adventure a bit easier to get started. Not everyone in 76 is an asshole!
• You probably heard of trap camps before, right? The obvious ones (to older players) involve a tight corridor, like, it just doesnt look right. If you equip the "Light Footed" perk and crouch before going through, you can avoid most of the traps that are trying to kill you. If you don't have the perk available, stash all of your junk before getting curious. Thank me later!
• What are treasury notes and how do you get them? Treasury notes are a reward for doing public events with the big black on them, as well as many Daily Quests. You can turn them in to "Gold Machines" found at whitespring mall, the crater and foundation to get gold bullion, a special currency. You must complete the wastelanders questline or track down the famous merchant "Minerva" before you can spend them however. (Endgame stuff!)
• If you're not interested in PVP (it's rare but it happens), double-check your game settings and make sure "pacifist mode" is enabled. This prevents "wild attacks" from other players. Does not apply in workshops though, be careful!
• How do I make a ton of caps fast with the 1400 cap limit?! Easy! You participate in player trading. Specifically, setting up your vending machine in your camp. Figure out what is popular to trade/sell and set your prices accordingly. I sell crappy legendary loot for the convenience of other players farming scrip for example.
• Roleplaying? This is a roleplaying game to some measure, if you want to get in character, do it, even play on voice comms if you like, it can be really fun! Once in a while, someone will be a jerk and give you a hard time. Just mute them in your social panel and continue having fun!
• Struggling with stash weight? Here's a few tips for it. Scrap all of your junk down to raw components before storing (when possible). Scrap all of your old weapons and armor instead of hoarding them. You'll clear stash weight and possibly learn modifications for those items to use later. Check your food/chems, stimpaks and spoiled food/drink can occupy far more weight than you realize. Lastly, drop that goddamn 19th legendary minigun you got at eviction notice. You don't need to loot every single item you come across. The hardest lesson is letting go. You can't keep everything.
• How do I get a jetpack not on power armor?? End-game gear friend, Secret Service Armor, Brotherhood Recon, or Civilian Engineer. SS/BoS require farming a ton of Gold Bullion, and Civi-Engineer requires stamps (arguably easier too).
• If you insist on collecting legendary Power Armor pieces, store them on a chassis. No matter how much the pieces weigh individually, all 5 pieces weigh a flat 10 points in the stash while on a chassis. It makes it so much easier to far random drops for your desired PA pieces or just to collect for scrip. [Credit to u/LargeTwist9469]
• When crafting/repairing, make sure you equip your crafting perks, such as Super Duper, Ammosmith, Armorer, etc to get the best efficiency out of your materials used. Using perks like "Fix it good" and "Weapon Artisan" can even make your repair effectiveness "overheal" your items to upwards of 200% total item health too! In many cases, these types of perks are required to craft equipment mods. [Credit to u/Dangerous_Zone_4603]

That's all for now friends! Please share any tips you have that I missed! Knowledge is power, and sharing is caring!!
[Edit] Correcting oversights and adding new stuff based on your feedback (with credits)!

Commonly asked question: "What furniture buffs intelligence?"
Most of the SPECIAL buff stations are purchaseable for gold bullion at the crater after finishing the wastelanders questline if your reputation is high enough.
mechanical derby game raises intelligence, antique speed bag raises agility, weight bench raises strength, arm wrestling machine raises charisma, fortune teller raises luck, exercise bike raises endurance, and radiation glove box raises perception.
there's a special item "Bowling Arcade Machine" you can get a redeem code from bethesda net that raises perception and luck at the same time as well. you'll have to google the info for that one though.
You can also raise your Action Point Regeneration with the "Well Tuned" buff, granted by playing a music instrument, you can boost experience gain by getting the "Rested" buff by sleeping in a bed or sleeping bag as well.
A less common, but still optional buff "Wise Teachings of the Mothman" can be gained with the "Sacred Tome of the Mothman" object which can be learned from plans earned during the "Mothman Equinox" event. This buff has an alternate method of obtaining, by participating in the "Path to Enlightenment" public event and then interacting with the Mothman at the end. This buff grants an EXP boost that stacks with the "Rested" buff.
[THANKS!]
Oh shit! Thanks for the awards guys! I'm just trying to give back to the community, I appreciate you!
